Story Behind the Song
This song is not about having given up, nor about freedom - as in having nothing left to lose - but rather about time's passing. Zoom in: the day is full of emotions we tend to. But zoom out for a moment; as loss and gain occurs daily, we net out with one thing only during life: change. And, every single day shares that, past or yet to come.
Now, toggle between the two zoom settings, and that's the sensibility this song offers.
Lyrics
Sometimes, I wonder where I’ve been - what I’ve done - with the times I’ve had, heaven or hell. In the end, I can tell I have won a place in the world I can call my own. Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, every day’s the same. In confusion I look at myself and I see someone else on my face, ready to replace me anytime I turn away. Who knows who’s going to take my place today? I want - please, I need - a place I call my own. Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, every day’s the same. I needed you. I wanted you. Now, you’re on your own. So now, I ask you please, won’t you let me in? Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, every day’s the same. I remember when I had tears running out my eyes. I tried - I failed - I’ll try again. All I know is that a smile is worth the while. In a dream, I scream, I think I’d rather have: Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, every day’s the same.
